Strength of Advan RS vs. Stock 193M wheels

ibo · 09-26-2011, 09:39 PM

Like the title says, I'm interested in your opinions and knowledge about whether or not the Advans will be MUCH stronger than the stock 193M wheels. I've driven on my stockies for 2 yrs for all seasons on Boston roads and I've bent the front rims 3 times already! (2x driver side 1x passenger)

The thing is, I drive like a granny on rough roads (which is like 80% here in Boston) and avoid potholes whenever I can. I don't even recall hitting any huge ones at all. Are the stock 193M's just really soft?

Either way, I'm interested in some reasonably priced strong wheels that don't break the bank. Not even sure if its worth the investment in Boston...

Any opinions?

*** My KW V3 settings are softer than the recommended stock settings already.

I've had My 19" Advan RS for almost 2 years in Boston, and they have held up real well. I have hit potholes that I thought it would be impossible not to bend/break a wheel on, but the Advans stayed strong. I say go for it!
